6.LeBRON JAMESNBA 2K13
We all know how dominate The King is in real life, but virtual hardwood LeBron in 2K13 was insane. Take his combination of explosive power, fast-break ability, and all his other MVP abilities and bottle them into a video game player. Someone who has never played video games in their life could grab a controller and score 50 with LeBron in 2K13. He was that good. I’m surprised the developers over at 2K didn’t make LeBron an unlockable feature in this game. You could put LBJ on the Bobcats in 2K13 and the Bobcats would be your 2K13 NBA Champions. Down 30, 20, 10 in the fourth? Just give it to LeBron because he couldn’t can’t be stopped going to the rack. King James was unguardable, unstoppable, uneverything in 2K13. Imagine how much better he will be in 2K14?.

5.SHAQUILLE O’NEALNBA 2K1
Are there any top 10 lists that have to do with basketball that don’t have Shaq on them? One of the most dominant big men to ever play the game, 2K1 was his basketball heaven. He was like a catastrophic earthquake crashing down when he would dunk the ball. Following a campaign that included a NBA championship, NBA Finals MVP and a regular season NBA MVP, how could you not make him absolutely destructive? Imagine trying to make a player coming off a season like that (almost averaged 30 ppg) — it’s impossible to make him not one of the best to ever be in the 2K series. The Big Diesel has been dominating in other games, but 2K1 took the cake.

Again, we couldn’t find any gameplay footage so you’ll have to settle for this. This brings back some memories.

4.TRACY McGRADYNBA 2K7
Special shoutout to T-Mac for entering retirement this past offseason. T-Mac, along with AI, are two players that are Hall of Fame worthy, but never were able to eclipse the top of the NBA mountain and win a ring. Even so, I bet you could win more rings than Bill Russell with Tracy McGrady in 2K7. It was easy mode, as easy as slicing a piece of cake. Maybe even easier than eating that cake. McGrady was money and a one-of-a-kind player. It’s a general consensus that he’s one of the best players to ever be in the 2K series: he had a super forgiving release (that culminated in a ridiculously lethal line-drive jumper) and he combined it with obscene hops that the real life T-Mac didn’t really have anymore by 2006. There was a point, and this game was probably it, where he was actually better than Kobe in 2K. Congrats to retirement, T-Mac, and thanks for all the rings I won with you in 2K7.

For some reason Magic Johnson(2k12), Isiah Thomas(2k9), Dr. J(2k10), and Patrick Ewing (2k2) were so damn unguardable. Patrick Ewing in 2k2 was like the (Young or Old) Shaq stopper. Even Wilt and Kareem couldn’t mess with him. kinda weird when you think about it.

Gilbert Arenas in 2K8 was unstoppable. Come on now.

09.12.13 at 10:44 pm

alpha beta

While his rating was not outstanding, 2k11 Ray Allen was a beast!!!!! Shoot any three, and it’s guaranteed to go in

Yes Tmac was unstoppable in his prime. And that Houston Rockets team was my favorite. Too bad their stars were plagued with injuries

09.13.13 at 1:14 pm

Jermaine Jrake Melvin

They for got all bout Jr smith he was unstoppable in 2k9 10 11 12 and a lil bit in 13

09.13.13 at 1:23 pm

ronald reagan

this shit was so poorly written

09.13.13 at 1:28 pm

Mark Lord Baesa

Sir, great content (I am an avid 2k series fan and I find these players unstoppable as well), but I’d like to suggest a proofreader before you publish it out..

09.13.13 at 1:44 pm

MDogg aka Marvello

Ray Allen in 2k11 should be in that list. I destroyed everyone imaginable with him and Lebron should be top 3

09.13.13 at 2:00 pm

Travis - DJ TDIGGADY

Yea I got HAM with Steph Curry

09.13.13 at 2:01 pm

Whiteboy

uM kKevin Garnett in NBA 2k9 and 2k8 could do just about anything. He was a 99 and was just so cheap to use with allen and pp

09.13.13 at 2:03 pm

Whiteboy

Paul Pierce in 2k2 was like being lil wayne in the club. just rain.

09.13.13 at 2:34 pm

James Harden 2K13 nuff said

09.13.13 at 3:28 pm

Angelo Dundee

Michael Jordan, he couldn’t miss. Double or triple team.

Well it was like that in real life as well lol.

09.13.13 at 4:39 pm

Az

Chris paul is always crazy esp in 2k13, crawford def a killer as well. With Curry I don’t know why I get 3 pt cold streaks, I first try to get 5 assists and then start looking for the 3 after passing the ball around but still I can’t get em to go. Sometimes if you do leaners they are more likely to go which is weird

2k9 Ben Gordon?!?!? he’s what 2k8 steve nash and 2k13 Curry could only DREAM of being!

09.13.13 at 5:46 pm

08.05.14 at 10:26 pm

Harnoor Singh

exactly! if you’re not saying Wade, then you must have never used him in a 2k game!

09.13.13 at 9:23 pm

pelacur

bill walker in 2k13. and the big one u missed is KG in 2k4. he was a beast. could do it all.

09.14.13 at 10:57 am

shizzCochino

James White from the Rockets on 2k11 or 2k12. Dude couldnt do anything but dunk and you had to put him on your active roster on the rockets to play with him. Some dude WHOOPED me with him online. I was flabbergasted…

09.14.13 at 1:15 pm

MoneyMont

Melo should be higher on this list he’s my go to player anytime someone goes to LeBron since 08

09.14.13 at 1:15 pm

Antoine Relerford

No Brandon Roy, 2k9? I used to drop 40+ consistently

09.15.13 at 12:11 am

Jose Ismael

09.15.13 at 12:12 am

Jose Ismael

09.15.13 at 11:00 am

JaredBanks

brandon roy(2k9)
Dwade(pre- lebron era)
Dwight Howard(2k13 unstoppable in the paint)
bill russell(2k12)
Jerry West(2k13 he doesn’t miss from midrange)
Allen Iverson(2k8 him and melo were unstoppable i went 23-2 online with them)
Dominique Wilkins(2k13 he dunks EVERYTHING )
Gilbert arenas(2k7/2K8)
These are just some of the dudes that i feel should have made the list

09.15.13 at 2:51 pm

Boberto

Melo NBA 2k11,12,13 can bust any1s a$$$ in any 2k of all time

09.15.13 at 2:58 pm

Knicks_11ThePoet

shut ur a.ss up.

but u are right. Melo the unstoppable king

09.15.13 at 8:37 pm

Rashidi

Why is Jordan the only Legend listed as #1 when there are a ton of Legends who saw play on MyTeam in 2K13? Magic, Jerry West, Dominique are pretty beast

09.16.13 at 4:06 am

Darren Le

I call bullshit..If you ain’t playing with at least a *Superstar* difficulty, you’re not really doing these things.

09.16.13 at 8:57 am

JaredBanks

naw superstar is for pussies play on HOF and they pretty much play the same unstoppable as shit

09.16.13 at 9:00 am

JaredBanks

Basically anyone who’s maxed out or anyone who has the posterizer skill is unstoppable on 2k13

09.16.13 at 1:47 pm

MykeThought

Dwade on 2k13 is crazy good.I had a dude beat me alone with him like wth it was like playing a 2k6 dwade.I wish the game has it where if your not involving the team they play worst as a team making it more effective to use the whole team

09.22.13 at 8:16 pm

D Tucker Sr

What about Big Yao in 2k11? It should be a #1 & 1a. I use to have games online where id outscore woke teams with him. People quit on me all the time. One game I had 78 with him with 3:50 left in the game. Check my stats on PSN: dtuckpg33

09.25.13 at 6:39 am

Nikolas Gkilis

James Harden NBA 2k 13 it just ridiculous :p

03.22.14 at 10:48 pm

sjl9492

JR Smith and Danny Granger are no doubt in the 2k hall of fame

08.05.14 at 11:53 pm

Epul

No Jr Smith? On 2k he’s unguardable

08.06.14 at 1:45 am

Harry Ford

Kobe Bryant hands down I mastered his shot in 2k3 dropped 100+ pts with him on my brother who played with the Steve Nash led mavs up until 2k11 I was unstoppable with kobe

08.06.14 at 10:58 am

Stephen Chen

what about dwight howard??

08.06.14 at 1:49 pm

Jay

Wade should be number 1. That dude should be on the list because there was absolutely “Nothing” you could to stop him from scoring. He would take of from the back court and fly into the hoop and get fouled and make the free throw. Ugh i hated guarding him in 2k13.

08.10.14 at 3:32 pm

KELVIN #AT$

2k7 Kobe Bryant was literally cheating..his team was only 74 but you could never lose with the Lakers in that game because Kobe could score all of your team’s points effortlessly
